How to compare business electricity prices

As all business electricity tariffs are unique, suppliers will provide bespoke quotes based on the needs and budget of your business. This can be time consuming if manually undertaken.

Here at The Energy Shop, we will ask a few questions on your electricity usage and location and run the comparison on your behalf to find the best rates, contract lengths and benefits, such as their green credentials, for your business.

If you're a domestic energy customer, then read our guide on how to compare electricity prices to help find you a better electricity deal.

What do I need to switch business electricity?

To get an accurate comparison you'll need the information from your latest bill which will provide you with:

  • Current business energy supplier
  • Current energy tariff and contract end date
  • Payment method
  • Annual consumption and unit rate
  • Electricity meter number

You can still search without these but the tariffs you receive will not be as exact.

To compare business energy suppliers the simple way, contact the team at The Energy Shop today and we'll be happy to work with you and walk you through the process, step by step.

How much could I save by switching my business electricity?

The amount your business could save from switching varies based on the size of the business, number of employees, contract length, and above all, how efficiently your business is run.

Every case should be treated uniquely as it's impossible to say exactly how much you can save. However, if you haven't reviewed your business electricity tariff for a few years then there is most certainly savings that can be had.

Should I switch business electricity suppliers?

Energy rates are constantly changing and keeping on top of new business electricity tariffs will help you switch to the best deal possible when it's time for renewal.

Whilst a cheaper electricity tariff may seem like the best deal to keep costs low you want to consider whether the supplier is the best fit for your business in the long term. Consider customer service experiences and note that some suppliers can offer different benefits and perks.

To find out how much you could save on your business energy costs, fill in the contact form above or speak to one of our experts on 0800 351 837 who will be happy to walk you through the process.

How does switching work for business customers?

Switching your business electricity supplier follows a similar process to switching your home supply. When comparing with us, we'll ask you a few questions and run a comparison to find the best suppliers and tariffs for your needs.

Your new provider will take care of organising the changeover and will confirm all agreed costs, payment methods and dates. Please do take care to check that all these details are correct before proceeding.

There may be delays if you are still in contract or owe an outstanding debt to your current supplier.

Always make sure you're happy with your new contract as business customers don't have a cooling off period.

Will my electricity supply be affected if I switch?

There will be no changes to your electricity supply. The only thing to change will be the suppliers name and new tariff.
